Some of my ramblings on tech, websites, and self-development.
Me and Eleanor Morgan participated in the Adobe XD Challenge. I wanted to use Vue.js rather than practise my skills in XD as I view myself as more of a developer than a designer. The first challenge was to create a music player. I played around with the audio API and used some CSS animations.
After re-creating my portfolio with Gatsby (which uses React) and building an app for a client in Vue I feel I have more knowledge about the two JavaScript frameworks to give an informed opinion on both.

I’ve been asking myself this question a lot recently after applying for quite a few web development placements. The experience has been enlightening, teaching me a great deal about the industry.

In my second year of university, I did a PHP unit where we were tasked with creating a site showing the number one songs from a certain year. We had to make a login, connect to a database, and perform a search.

My first venture into the world of React was building this Tic Tac Toe game using the React Docs. It also helped me get to grips with CodePen for creating small little projects.
After experimenting using Vue in my Photography Website I decided to have a go at making a To-Do List. You can create and delete To Dos but they don’t currently persist. This is something I wish to add in the future.
